Sticky Mango on the south bank is close to all the great Southbank Centre venues. The food is fabulous, we had the scallops, the black pepper prawns and shared a very spicy salad for starters and followed up with the monk fish and the king prawn pad thai. Choosing what to have was the hardest part as I could so easily have chosen most of the menu. The service was good without being intrusive and the wines were excellent we started with a very reasonably priced glass of champagne and followed that with an excellent French white.

Warm welcome, 4 of us for lunch. There was a la carte and a set menu to choose from, but the set menu is only provided for the whole table. Luckily, the dishes on the set menu today were cashew nuts with chilli and lime leaves, a beautiful, crunchy salad, duck curry, excellent mixed vegetables in garlic and oyster sauce, plus sticky and jasmine rice. We paid a supplement for a whole sea bass, fried. Dessert was also included.
